eCourse- How to use AI to develop a Successful Proposal in Horizon Europe - Case Study CSA-Excellence Hubs
based on live recordings
Learning Objectives and structure
Course Purpose
We are standing at the beginning of a new era in EU proposal writing — one where Artificial Intelligence is not just a tool but a creative partner. Generative AI is reshaping how ideas are born, structured, and expressed — making proposal development faster, sharper, and more human at the same time.
This is designed to help innovators, researchers, and support staff break free from traditional proposal stress and discover how AI can amplify their creativity, precision, and competitive edge. Through real-time demonstrations, guided exercises, and AI-human collaboration, participants will experience how proposal writing evolves from a manual process into a dynamic, intelligent dialogue.
This is not just another Horizon Europe training — it’s your chance to step into the future of proposal development, where innovation meets intelligence.

-
Master what makes a proposal successful, especially under Pillar II collaborative projects.
-
Use Generative AI responsibly, securely, and effectively throughout the proposal development process.
-
Identify and select the right AI tools according to your goals and resources.
-
Build the Excellence, Impact, and Implementation sections of a proposal with AI support.
-
Witness in real-time how a complete proposal is created from scratch using AI tools and proven prompt frameworks.

Nikolaos Floratos: Nikolaos has a multidisciplinary education with a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering from City University London, a Bachelor of Humanities in Greek Civilisation from Open Hellenic University, a master of science in Telecommunications and Signal Processing from Imperial College, London and he is recently awarded his PhD in Humanities on student engagement in massive open online courses from Open University of Catalonia. After his undergraduate and postgraduate studies with distinction as an engineer in London (Imperial College, City University), UK, has been working for a number of consultancy and Information Technology companies as a consultant and project manager across Europe. He has also an MBA (Master in Business Administration from the National Technical University of Athens and Athens University of Economics and Business) and the last 25 years he is involved in planning, managing and evaluating large and small projects in the area of research, education, ICT (Information Communication Technologies), social inclusion, entrepreneurship, standardization and consumer issues. As a funding expert, personal trainer and coach, he has supported thousands of individuals and organisations mainly from Europe but also from all over the world in managing state funding (e.g. from the European Commission, National Funds, etc) and receiving support for deploying their business idea or mission. Recently, he came across of AI in proposal writing and he became thrilled with it. He considers that AI will bring the same revolution as PC (Personal Computers). PCs changed the way that business is conducted and today is the only norm and in the same way, he believes that AI will do so and no one should stay behind. |
